IRVINE, Calif. – May 23, 2018 – PRLog — Carothers DiSante & Freudenberger LLP (CDF),
an award-winning California employment and labor law firm recognized for protecting California employers for nearly 25 years, proudly announces Founding Partner and Chair of CDF’s Class Action Defense Litigation Practice Group, Tim Freudenberger, as a Fellow of the prestigious Litigation Counsel of America (LCA).
“I am humbled to be among this close-knit honorary society of top American attorneys,” said Tim Freudenberger, founding partner at Carothers DiSante & Freudenberger LLP.
Freudenberger represents California and national employers in all aspects of labor and employment law and related litigation, with a special emphasis on defending wage and hour, and employment discrimination class action lawsuits, and other complex employment litigation matters.
For nearly 20 years, Freudenberger has been practicing at the forefront in the defense of California employers against high profile wage and hour and other class action cases. He has a successful track record of repeatedly obtaining dismissals and defeating class certification, often through strategic depositions and pre-trial motions and a thorough investigation of putative class claims.
In 2014, Freudenberger received a precedent setting decision from the California Supreme Court in Duran v. U.S. Bank Nat. Assn., 59 Cal. 4th 1 (2014), followed by a recent victory before the Court of Appeal after remand, Duran v. U.S. Bank, 19 Cal.App.5th 630 (2018). His defense work on the case, which lasted for more than a decade and resulted in multiple published opinions, helped shape class certification and trial principles in exemption cases. The closely followed trial, and subsequent outcome before the Court of Appeal and California Supreme Court, serves as a testament to the respect Freudenberger’s class action practice commands throughout California.
Freudenberger has received many prestigious accolades in recognition of his precedent-setting defense of class action matters. He was named 2017 Attorney of the Year in Class Action – Defense, by Best Lawyers®. He also was listed from 2012 to 2014 among the Daily Journal’s Top 75 Labor & Employment Law Attorneys in California. In 2015, he was recognized as one of the Attorneys of the Year in Class Action Defense by California Lawyer.
